They say there’s no place like home, and there is definitely no place like our home on Earth. Every place on Earth is unique in its own way, with people, food, and cultures that cannot compare to any other place. To get the most of our time on this planet, make sure that you check out these amazing destinations around the globe.
Al-Andalus, Spain
If you’re a fan of fusion cuisine, look no further than the place that started it all. With Middle-Eastern herbs and spices combining with rich Spanish cuisine, Al-Andalus is the destination for foodies worldwide.
With its colonial roots in Arabic and Spanish cultures, Al-Andalus was the epitome of cross culturalism, where people of Christian, Jewish, and Islamic faiths could co-exist harmoniously. This is evidenced by its breathtaking architecture and art, remnants of which can still be admired today. Of course, if you are just visiting for the food, then you’ll find African, Mediterranean, and South East Asian flavours mixing pleasantly together, demonstrating on your tastebuds the great potential of world peace.
Santiago, Chile
It’s said that the creator of the world, left with all of the mountains, rivers, forests, plains, and deserts, decided to lump it all into Chile. You’ll see why when you go to Chile, but while in Santiago, make sure that you experience the amazing South American nightlife where people wake up after midday so that they can start their fiestas well after midnight.
Auckland, New Zealand
Whether you are a fan of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy or not, there’s no denying that the New Zealand landscapes featured in those film epics were amazingly picturesque. The cities have everything you need, but are mixed with the laidback attitude of the countryside, making Auckland a wonderful place to forget about the daily grind. You’ll be amazingly relaxed, given that Auckland was built on a volcanic field – something which will make itself known as the smell of sulphur wafts through the air.
Hokkaido, Japan
What do you get when you mix centuries of rich culture with modernity? You get the beautiful, sometimes confusing country that is Japan. And, while you may have heard a lot more about the insanity that is Tokyo peak hour, there’s no place quite as beautiful to relax as the Hokkaido countryside. Here, you’ll find parks that sprawl to infinity, flower gardens that will astonish you, and amazingly relaxing hot springs – all a great way to wind down after you’ve come back from hitting the freshly powdered slopes at the ski resort.
New York City, United States of America
New York City. You’ve heard about it. And the only reason that you keep hearing about is because people keep talking about it, because there is nothing like the New York City life. The nightlife, the hotdog stands, the generous servings of pizza, pasta, and pie. It’s all there, waiting for you. The only question now is: are you ready?
